Pure research does use prizes to direct individuals towards certain goals.
In maths, we had the famous Hilbert challenges in 1900 which were supposed to direct his peers towards problems he thought were important; this was repeated at the end of the last century with the Millennium prize problems, which I think were offering a million dollars a solution.
There are lots of them out there.
